Application filed April 19, 1904:. Serial No. 203,826.

To all whom, it may concern,-

' Be it known that-I, JOHN B. \BRUOKMILLER, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at MevKeesport, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful composition of matter to be used for removing the sediment or deposit on the interior of the service-pipes of watersupply systems, of which the following is a specification.

My composition consists of the following service-pipeas, for instance, by screwing itupon or fastening it tightly against the delivcry-faucet.

The mixture isespecially adapted to remove the accumulation in the interior of the service-pipes without disconnecting or cutting off the main, and by the apparatus shown I forcibly pump the mixture through the (No specimens.)

service-pipes backwardly against the pressure of the water-main, first opening the outletfaucet. When an amount of the mixture composed of the quantities of ingredients stated has been thus pumped or forced through the service-pipes, it operates upon the adhering matter and entirely'removes it, carrying it backwardly into the main or allowing it to be discharged outwardly'by removing the pump connection and opening the faucet.

What I claim, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The herein-described composition of matter for use in removing sediment, &c., from the interior of pipes or other vessels, resulting from a mixture of water, sulfuric acid, turpentine, and lye, substantially as herein described.

2. The herein-described composition of matter for removing sediment or deposited matter from the interior of the service-pipes of a water. system, resulting from a mixture of the following ingredients in the proportions stated, to wit: water ten quarts, sulfuric acid two'quarts, turpentine one pint, lye twelve ounces.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two. witnesses.

JOHN B. BRUOKMILLER.
